Lavawave said on the 8th that it will participate in the "AI+X Conference 2026 (AI+X CONFERENCE 2026)," which will be held on the 8th at BEXCO in Busan. Lavawave will take part as a speaker in the event's "AI Reliability" session, and its presentation topic will be "How Do We Distinguish the Fakes Created by AI?"
In this session, Lavawave will highlight the risks of digital crimes using deepfakes and also present technical countermeasures. The key issue in this participation is not the sophistication of AI-generated content, but the everyday threat of abuse-driven crime.
Lavawave will discuss how sexual images and videos synthesized without consent can be used as tools for extortion and can also be exploited to demand money. Such crimes can expose victims to criticism and harassment from others, and the damage can lead to anxiety and psychological distress.
Lavawave has been responding to digital crimes such as body cam phishing, and it provides web and SNS distribution detection and monitoring services using "LavaScanner." The service is intended to respond to the spread of damage. In addition, Lavawave has been jointly developing deepfake preemptive prevention technology with KAIST's Cybersecurity Research Center, and since last April it has been offering a public trial service for the technology through the National Police Agency's Cybercrime Report System (ECRM).
Based on these activities, Lavawave is expected to say at the conference that, beyond simply distinguishing synthetic content, technical responses and stronger social protection systems are needed to protect victims of threats and distribution. The discussion is expected to stress that, alongside the possibilities of AI use, the risks of criminal misuse must also be examined.
Kim Jun-yeop, CEO of Lavawave, said the company's participation in the conference is an extension of its technology development and public-private cooperation. He also said it would serve as an opportunity to broaden social discussions on safety and trust in the AI era. Kim said that, along with discussions about the possibilities of AI use, the risks of criminal misuse also need to be examined, and emphasized that it is meaningful to convey the message that technological progress must lead to the protection of individual rights and daily life.
